Dead Man’s Bones - Pa Pa Power

Remember in 2009 when Ryan Gosling had that music project that was either gothic or halloween themed and they had that one thing on YouTube and then everyone kind-of-sort-of forgot about it?

Well yesterday I remembered, so I tracked it down. It’s actually pretty good! I don’t know if this is him singing, last.fm says another fellow might have more to do with the actual music. That’s fine by me!

Casually recycling 12.5 kilograms of university notes compiled over 2 years. I briefly wondered about how normal it is to weigh paper before throwing it out,  but then one of the cats reminded me that I didn’t need to be worrying about things like that.

The fact that ‘Drive’ has only about twenty-five words of dialogue makes this whole ‘out of sync’ issue I’m having so much more bearable.

Reworking sentences into cumbersome monstrosities to ensure that the questionable looking apostrophe was not, in fact, gramatically incorrect.

I am possibly cycling into a kind of major barbershop quartet/TMBG phase again.

Things unrelated to my lecture today that I nonetheless learnt from my lecture today.

  1. Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were invented partly in an attempt to reduce sexual drive.
  2. The etymology of the word ‘toxic’ is traced to the Greek word for ‘bow’ and relates to the ancient military practice of dipping arrows in faeces before firing them in an attempt to kill initial survivors by infection.
  3. The ‘Rx’ that precedes many hand written prescriptions literally translates from its latin root as ‘take’ or ‘take this’ and not ‘recipe’.
  4. The first successful treatments for hypothyroidism involved giving people animal thyroid glands to eat. This lead to many people eating other animal organs in treatment attempts including the practice of eating animal testes in France, which lacks any scientific merit whatsoever.

Sebadoh - Brand New Love

Headed to a Lou Barlow in-store shortly, because it is free and their show tonight is unfortunately not. Excusing the last thirty seconds of this song (radio medleys to end tracks are never a good idea) , it remains one of my favourites from their formidable catalogue.

Also I don’t think I’ve ever actually been to an ‘in-store’ ever? DO THEY EVEN HAPPEN IN AUSTRALIA?
